Description
The Department of Engineering Science and Brasenose College seek to appoint to the Professorship of Civil Engineering with effect from 1 October 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Professor of Civil Engineering is expected to provide strategic academic and research leadership in Civil Engineering and will contribute appropriately to the administration of the subject area, and in the wider Department. They will work collaboratively with their academic colleagues to develop the direction of Civil Engineering research and teaching at Oxford, aligned with developments and initiatives in the UK and internationally, to further advance and promote the subject.
You will be expected to pursue a research programme at the forefront of the subject internationally, providing research leadership of the highest calibre to colleagues working in this field, and embracing the opportunity to shape the direction of Civil Engineering research. You will play a leading role in the planning and development of the proposed Engineering and Technology innovation Hub at OSney (ETHOS) building, which will provide state-of-the-art laboratory and office space for Civil Engineering at Oxford. You will contribute appropriately to the recruitment of new academics, including providing mentorship to those appointed, as well as take initiative for the funding and management of appropriate shared resources to underpin a thriving research community in Civil Engineering.
You should possess an outstanding research record and will be of internationally recognised stature in Civil Engineering, broadly interpreted across the sub-disciplines. Your specialised interests will likely extend or complement current activities in the Civil and Offshore Engineering research group, within which Civil Engineering sits, including in structural engineering and materials, geotechnical engineering or environmental fluid mechanics (see https://eng.ox.ac.uk/civil/research/).
Applications are particularly welcome and encouraged from women, black, and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. The University holds an Athena SWAN bronze award and a Race Equality Charter bronze award at institutional level in recognition of its efforts to introduce organisational and cultural practices that promote gender and racial equality so as to create a better working environment for all.
The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 24 February 2025.
